Broadband aid under the Fast Broadband project
The aim of the project is to ensure with state aid that fast broadband networks are built in areas where their commercial availability is unlikely. The project offers state aid to cover the cost of building high-speed broadband networks. The aid is available for projects involving fibre networks enabling fast data transmission.
Applications for state broadband aid are submitted to FICORA.
